Rear Admiral Mohamed Tahin, Inspector of the Moroccan Royal Navy, on Tuesday, paid tributes at the National War Memorial. He was welcomed by Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and received the Guard of Honour in the national capital.
The visit follows the recent trip by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to Morocco in September of this year, where he inaugurated Tata Advanced Systems Maroc's new manufacturing facility at Berrechid, terming it a milestone that showcased India's growing role in global defence collaboration.
In the last years, both countries have expanded cooperation in multiple sectors, strengthening India-Morocco relations. This cooperation is not limited to the defence sector but also includes renewable energy to fertilisers, information technology, to tourism.
During Singh's meeting with Morocco's Defence Minister Abdeltif Loudiyi, they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on defence cooperation, this September. The MoU provides for a robust institutional framework to the growing partnership and paves the way for collaboration in the defence industry, joint exercises, military training and capacity building.
Both leaders decided to intensify defence industry collaboration and agreed on a comprehensive roadmap covering counter-terrorism, maritime security, cyber defence, peacekeeping operations, military medicine, and expert exchanges, a Defence Ministry release said.
